williams round head ratchet spanner for slotted "nut"?

[Steve_P]

Does williams make a spanner-type-thingy to remove the round slotted nut from the 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets? I'm not going to use a chisel, etc, and can certainly fab something up, but if I can buy something for $5-10 then that's what I want. I've already tried various ways with no luck and dont' want to mar up nice ratchets by hacking on them.

I think he means this style. I have several of this style and would also like a tool to unscrew the lock ring. I think this was the only one I was able to unscrew, as the rest are on too tight. I also do not want to beat on it with a punch or screwdriver.

You could probably just get some equal diameter PVC pipe and carve out some notches.

yes, that's the style. I would have to make something different for the 3/8 and 1/2. I tried a few different methods on two of them with no luck.

Mr Holeshot: How do you this on a ratchet?

I found an old post that referred to a tool that was on eBay that is still around 2 years later. Here's the post and the ebay link:

I was looking for something to fit my new used Williams B-54 3/8 flex. Not sure if it'll work on my S-52/S-53. I've just used a long nose pliers for those.
